I like when fanartists draw Nami's scar under her tatoo, but it got me thinking about other characters's scars too with fanarts and now I think not many people realise just how many fucking scars Luffy should have in canon, like:

1) You have his trademark scar under his eye because Shanks is irrensponsable (not entirely on him but you know what I mean)

2) The slice marks on the side of his head and chest from Kuro he got at Syrup Village.

3) His back must be covered in holes from Don Krieg's spear thingys.

4) At least a few bite marks all over his body from Arlong.

5) Probably a few scars by Zoro from Whiskey Peak as well.

6) Obliterated hands and feet as well as frostbites from climbing 5000 meteres in the cold at Drumm Island. (Side note, I love this scene because it shows just how much Luffy loves his crewmates)

7) Crocodile literally piercing through his body gave him scars both front and back.

8) A few scars from getting thrown at a glass window and bleeding out at Jaya by Bellamy.

9) I know it's technically impossible but Enel's lighting may or may have not scarred him. (Scars from lighting look pretty insane, look it up)

10) Bite marks from Lucci of course, can't escape those.

11) I could see him having scars similar to strech marks because of the 1000 shadows in his weakened body as well as well other instances in the battle against Oars and Moria.

12) Magellan's poison defenetely damaged his skin as well.

13) Then frostbite again. (Thanks again to Bon Clay for saving him, I luv you Bon Clay)

14)And Ivankov pokeing him to give him healing hormones.

15) The mark from Akainu's boiling donut frosting. (I will punish myself for this joke, don't worry)

16) Probably hurt himself during the 2 year training with Rayleigh.

17) More fishmen bitemarks, this time from Hody Jones.

18) Cuts from Doflamingo's strings and other instances.

19) Cracker and Oven attacking him.

20) Marks on his arms from when he tried to cut off his own hands to save Sanji.

21) Scars from Katakuri's mochi and his other attacks or something.

22) Queen's virus/poison looked like it was burning his skin and was probably acidic.

23) I haven't finished Wano yet, but Kaidou must have given his share of scars to him as well.

The poor guy's body is just a war battlefield. His skin is barely attached to him at this point.

I ADORE when artists draw Luffy with a lot of the scars. It makes his character design way better and gorgeous in my opinion. And tbh, all Strawhats should have way more scars. If I started explaining every little scar they would have here I wouldn't be able to finish but.... I trust fanartists to draw the characters with soooo many of them 🙏🏻

#sanji and his lightning scar from enel is like one of my fav concepts ever #and in general like ??? all of them should have scars #one piece #monkey d. luffy #strawhat pirates

YES YES yes listen

Nami, Luffy and Usopp getting together to make Zoro and Sanji date. I don't think it would be strange for Zoro not to realize his feelings for Sanji and that's why they play it off as a bet.

Sanji doesn't want to date, he's just not interested, he doesn't like men (not in a "i'm not attracted to men" way, more in a "i hate that i'm attracted to men because of how they behave" way), he doesn't like Zoro (he does). So when Zoro starts flirting with him he acts all angry and uninterested, leading Zoro to actually take the bet seriously.

And that's the only way I think the movie context could apply to them.

So now let's get to the fun part, the things in 10 things i hate about you that reminded me of zosan (in no logical order):

The line "There's some green in your eyes" from Kat before throwing up after the party! Think about pre-relationship zosan drinking together for whatever reason. Zoro handles alcohol a lot better than Sanji. So Sanji is drunk as hell and Zoro, being the one there with him, has to take care of him. While they're walking back to the ship or whatever Sanji stumbles, Zoro manages to catch him before he falls. This is the first time Sanji actually looks at Zoro's eyes and he tells him "there's some green in your eyes" before they start walking again.

"You're not as violent as I thought you were" THIS IS PEAK ZOSAN LET ME EXPLAIN: Sanji and Zoro are close but it took time for them to become (boy)friends. Sanji has this very specific view on men, he doesn't like them regardless of all. So for a lot of time Sanji saw Zoro as rude, violent, ignorant ect.. But with time passing and them spending more and more time together Sanji realized just how much of a kind person Zoro actually is.

Last but not least, THE POEM! Kat's poem is more zosan than zosan itself. And yk what i'm going to tell you even what the lines are about

1- I hate the way you talk to me

2- And the way you cut your hair

3- I hate the way you drive my car

4- I hate it when you stare

5- I hate your big dumb combat boots

6- And the way you read my mind

7- I hate you so much, that it makes me sick

8- And even makes me rhyme

9- I hate the way you're always right

10- I hate it when you lie

11- I hate it when you make me laugh

12- Even worse when you make me cry

13- I hate it when you not around

14- And the fact that you didn't call

15- But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you

16- Not even close

17- Not even a little bit

18- Not even at all

1: about all the insults and names Zoro calls him.

2: "Mosshead".

3: once they had to go to a party. Zoro was driving and they got lost. Still, that's one of the best nights Sanji has ever had.

6: Sanji is scared to let people *really* see him, because he's afraid that they might leave him, so he hates the way Zoro seems to always know what's going on with him. Zoro knows exactly who he is but doesn't seem like he wants to leave him. Sanji just can't wrap his head around that.

15-18: accepting the fact that he actually *likes* Zoro and that he doesn't want him to disappear from his life is not easy. He realized to love Zoro after a fight that ended up with them not talking for days. He didn't like it at all.

#i love this #vinsmoke sanji #zosan #roronoa zoro #one piece #monkey d. luffy #one piece nami #one piece usopp #zoro x sanji #ten things i hate about you #one piece hcs #*edit* the line is “youre eyes have a little green in it” im sorry i watched the movie in italian and i just translated it directly

[abysscronica]

What do you think of the one piece movies?

Oh boi, that's a loaded question. 😭 I will reply honestly but please remember this is my personal opinion, whatever you like it's all legit!

In general, I don't particularly care for the OP movies too much. I did see them, almost all, even enjoy some or part of them, but I'm grateful that they're non-canon. I don't hate them and I'm always happy when a new one is announced (more OP content!), but that's about it. Same goes for the special/OVAs, although they kinda stopped with those. I will only go through the movies in this post.

Movie 1 (One Piece: the Movie) and 2 (Clockwork Island Adventure) are basically like filler arcs in the early days of the anime. They are not bad, nor good. I haven't seen them in a long while but I remember being pretty neutral towards them.

Movie 3 (Chopper's Kingdom on the Island of Strange Animals) and 5 (The Cursed Holy Sword) actually SUCK. They suck so much I could hardly get to the end. The Chopper one is just a total bore with a super predictable plot, while the Zoro one is actually painful. Zoro and the crew are totally OOC, and the poorly-thought magic lore introduced in the movie just doesn't fit with the OP universe.

You'll noticed I skipped movie 4 (Dead End Adventure). And that's because this one I like. It's also like a filler arc, but it fits perfectly in the plot (love the quick reference to Navarone), it flows well, it's dynamic and engaging, and the original characters are actually good. Shout out to Shuraiya Bascùd, whose design is basically Ace in a different color palette, but has a complex personality.

Movie 6 (Baron Omatsuri and the Secret Island) is a unique One Piece product, quite distant from what we're used to, and therefore I consider it a must-see. Not really for the plot, which doesn't make much sense, but for the art and the direction. In fact, it was directed by Hosoda, a very notable anime movie director (Wolf Children, The Girl who Leapt through Time, Summer Wars, Digimon...).

Movie 7 (The Giant Mechanical Soldier of Karakuri Castle)... I remember absolutely nothing of this movie except Nami's bouncing boobs.

Movie 8 (Episode of Alabasta) and 9 (Episode of Chopper plus) are revised re-tellings of the Alabasta and Drum saga. They aren't bad, especially Chopper's, some dramatic sequences are very touching. They made a great use of the soundtrack, or lacking thereof.

I will place Movie 11 (One Piece 3D: Straw Hat Chase) here because it doesn't fit with the remaining ones. This may as well be a special: it's only 30 minutes long, most of the Strawhats barely appear, it doesn't feature a villain-based adventure, and it's in a graphic format never used again. Take it as a slice-of-life episode, and it's enjoyable.

Movie 10 (Strong World) is a turning point, because this is when OP movies became "films", Oda started to get involved, some original canon elements were dropped in, and there were theatrical releases. The difference in quality (at least plot-wise) is immediately clear. Strong World is the last movie set before the timeskip (excluding movie 11), and it may well be my favorite.

Movie 12 (Z) is probably close second. The villain is a great character, and I LOVED the inclusion of Aokiji and Kizaru, how different they were, the implications they brought to the plot.

Movie 13 (Gold) is okay. Enjoyable. Once again, good villain, nice setting, good animation.

Movie 14 (Stampede) has a special place in my heart because it included the Kid Pirates, and Kid & Killer have a few scenes. Buuuut if I have to be honest, the plot is quite weak and, if you take off the (scarce) screen time of my beloved, it's a little boring.

And finally! The most recent, movie 15, Red. I haven't had the chance to watch it yet because it didn't get a theatrical release where I live, so I'm waiting for the DVD to be out. What I can say is that I've watched reviews from my two favorite OP youtubers (Tekking101 and Sawyer7mage), and they were not particularly impressed with it. My best friend also watched it and found it incredibly boring, so my hopes aren't really too high. I think they went waaaay too hard on the marketing for this one, they pushed Shanks and Uta SO MUCH. (Also it doesn't help that I'm one of the very few people that don't really care about Shanks, huh). I heard the songs and they were amazing, Ado is a masterclass singer. I read about the plot and I do think some details are quite interesting, like Uta's whole psychology and possibly the ending (?). I guess I'll have to update my opinion when I actually watch the movie.

That's all for now. Feel free to ask for more details if you want.

One Piece AU

Through the power of *Cough Grand line bullshit Cough*  the Whitebeard pirates travel back in time twenty years. With Teach gone, it’s time to get the rest of the family starting with the one that needs them the most, Ace. As much as they want to get baby Ace and raise him so that he never has to question his worth, they can’t because Ace would never get to meet his brothers. While Ace told enough stories about his childhood to know how important they are to him they don’t have enough information to ensure they meet again if they take him. So they have to wait for the right moment. Lucky for them, Ace told them enough to know exactly when to come, the day Sabo got taken away.

(The reason Ace doesn’t remember was that he was a baby and forgot them but he still instinctively trust them with just freaks him out more)

Anyone may use this prompt just credit me and let me know because I want to read it.

I saw a drawing of Yamato with top surgery today and realized Law is still on the island. Trafalgar D. 'I make centaurs for fun' Law is on the same island as two trans people who are opposite genders. They can literally swap in five seconds. For some reason, I kinda feel like they don't want to do top/bottom surgery (they really don't seem bothered by their bodies but what do I know I'm cis) but I really like the idea Kiku donating her junk and swapping with Yamato for his.

The real reason Shanks wouldn't let Luffy come with him is because he realized he is a terrible babysitter and should not be in charge of a kid.

Evidence

He sees a seven-year-old with a knife and literally says go for it. He simply knows he does not count as Adult Super Vision.

My #1 post of 2022

Do you want to know what I find hilarious: no one knows about Luffy's fruit except for five old dudes, not Luffy, not Kaido, not his crew, not anyone. How will they find out, what are they going to think about his god mode in the mean time. Can you imagine Nami's reaction; Usopp's. I mean, they have absolute faith in Luffy but they all know he is an idiot so I want to see them silently question 'I trust this idiot with my life but do I trust him to be GOD'.

Robin will absolutely have a field day though

[cranberryspringart]

A pre timeskip One Piece tarot deck needs to exist, Luffy follows the fools journey so well. My idea for how it could go:

0 The Fool: The barrel at sea luffy was floating in.

Perfect for the inexperienced fool

1 The Magician: Zoro

What more can I say to that one , zoro has luffy's back, starting the crew and conquering hardships.

2 The High Priestess: Nami

Directions, man , what's better than the navigator herself.

3 The Empress: Sanji ( bear with me on this one)

This man's whole thing is admiring beauty, being in love, and being compsionate to people. Even if the card is feminine, he embodies it pretty well.

4 The Emperor: Usopp (again, bear with me on this)

His whole thing is that he wants to be a brave warrior of the sea, he may be a coward but he's strong when it counts to the people around him.

5 The Heirophant: either Smoker or Arlong

I feel like either of them could work to show the crew their first glimpse at the bigger scope of things.

6 The Lovers: the Going Merry

It's the best choice when it comes to signifying the relationship the crew has and the love they have for one another.

7 The Chariot: Crocodile

The idea of the chariot is success won't come if thinking is limited, Crocodile embodies that incredibly well when they're first introduced.

8 Strength: Vivi

She's had to be a very resilient person throughout her life and act courageously in some of the toughest times.

9 The Hermit: Robin

Early Robin is very much the Hermit prefering solitude and figuring out things on her own.

10 Wheel of Fortune: Zoro and Luffy Facing Bellamy that first time with Blackbeard there

This feels like the Wheel of Fortune. I don't quite know how to describe it like the feeling that anything can happen in the future.

11 Justice: Cp-9, franky, and Robin

That whole arc was past actions coming back around.

12 The Hanged Man: Robin wanting to live

That small action paved the way for so much in the story it was also Robin letting go of the solitude and moving forward.

13 Death: The Going Merry sinking

Need I say more on this one.

14 Temperance: Franky

The man needed to accept that he was gonna be part of the crew.

15 The Devil: " nothing happened"

That scene and zoro's choice to keep his captain from being caught feels right for this card

16 The Tower: Ace's Death

Luffy's lowest point , where everything collapsed because he wasn't strong enough in that fight, and where he realized he needed to train if he was going to get any further.

17 The Star: Law

Healing and hope, man, Law came in at the right time for this one.

18 The Moon: Luffy mourning Ace's death

This was a really uncertain time for him and quite possibly the only time I've seen him even think for a moment about giving up.

19 The Sun: Jinbe

He helped Luffy through that uncertainty by reminding him of the people that care about him.

20 Judgment : telling his crew to train for 2 years

This was a big moment of Luffy thinking of their past and future and what his crew needs.

21 The World: everyone meeting back up

They're ready to take on the world and all its challenges.

The Great Anime Rewatch of 2022 - Part V

Trigun

First watched: May 2011 Rewatched: June 2022

Original rating: 9 New rating: 5

Watched the English dub for this one. The first act, and a lot of the second act, were too repetitive. Each episode had the exact same story structure, and there weren't enough hints about Vash’s history dropped to generate any interest. (Not until episodes 7 and 8, and Wolfwood’s introduction in episode 9.) The story proper didn’t kick in until the final third. 

The world building also felt super lacking. All of the towns/cities looked identical, and each one had a single defining problem. I.E. A rich guy is monopolizing the water supply, the plant isn’t functioning, the sheriff is corrupt, etc. 

The characters really fell out of favor for me. Vash’s antics, particularly his ogling of women, felt super forced. Meryl and Milly never go anywhere. Neither of them had an arc, or nuance. Milly’s childish behavior was really dissonant with her (out of fucking nowhere) relationship with Wolfwood, who was absolutely my favorite character when I first watched Trigun. Now? I feel nothing. But Vash and Wolfwood were absolutely better when they were together. 

English dubs tend to lend themselves pretty well to Trigun’s genre, but the only performance I remotely liked was Johnny Young Bosch as Vash. Steve Blum as a nameless background character in episode 15 was a welcome surprise. Regardless of the acting, Trigun was a really disappointing experience. 

__________________________________

Trigun: Badlands Rumble

First watched: August 2011 Rewatched: June 2022

Original rating: 8 New rating: 5

English dub again. The main characters, except Vash, were all recast for the film. If I didn’t know that, I wouldn’t be able to tell. Badlands Rumble is one of those films that’s little more than an extended/glorified episode. The animation absolutely holds up, and the CG isn’t too terrible either. 

__________________________________

Durarara!!

First watched: 2011, original airdate Rewatched: June 2022

Original rating: 8 New rating: 6

Oh boy. Where to start? 

Narita is someone who loves creating all sorts of characters, throwing them all together and let their relationships and goals drive the story. A large portion of those in Durarara!! feel like he protagonists of their own story. But not all protagonists are created equal, and neither are their relationships. 

Let’s go with the characters and dynamics I liked and/or cared about first: Izaya, Celty, Kyohei, Shizuo, and Kida. Sometimes I like Mikado, but he’s much better when he’s around certain characters (Celty and Izaya) and acting as the leader of the Dollars. I’m tepid or apathetic towards mostly everyone else, and actively dislike a few.

I like the first half of the show way more. The climax of the Dollars plot in episodes 11-12 is still great. Although, the characters I hate the most are central in the first half: Seiji, Namie and Mika. They’re all toxic yanderes and terrible people who need incredible amounts of therapy. The series also doesn’t exactly excel at romance. 

The second half of Durarara!! didn’t work for me because I don’t give a shit about the relationships between Mikado, Kida, and Anri. They don’t feel like inseparable friends, and we don’t really ever see them spend time together. (This is directly lampshaded by Celty to Anri in episode 22, when she asks Anri how much she knows about Mikado.) Throwing the whole Saika thing in the gang war felt like it was doing too much. I’d rather have Celty remain as the central supernatural point. 

Nearly all of Durarara!!’s ideas are things I should like in theory. But in the end I only care or a fraction of the cast, and it doesn’t come together or me. Great music and bookend themes, though. And Isaac and Miria’s cameo was very welcome.

Liked it just a little bit less upon rewatch—mostly due to the frequent tonal shifts. But Kon doesn’t have a bad work under his belt.

Kyousosgiga’s strength remains its wildly creative visuals, courtesy of director Matsumoto Rie. Beneath that, it’s a story of family. With that being said, I couldn’t get into it this time around. I think it was the pacing that killed it for me. The scenes either felt like they were five years long or five seconds long. And I don’t think this story warranted a TV series. It might’ve been better as a movie.

My Anime Opinions (Mostly One Piece)

Pt2:

People Really Underestimate Zoro's Loyalty and His Caring Side

Man, I had enough with the “If just Zoro was in WCI” nonsense. People really underestimate Zoro’s loyalty to Luffy and his caring side. Let me give some examples:

Loyalty: 1-Let’s start with the beginning. Zoro knows that he would be dead if it weren’t for Luffy because the marines weren’t prideful like Zoro was and they would kill Zoro anyway even after he survived from starving for three weeks. Zoro is a prideful person who sticks to his promises till death like Kuina's. Zoro promised Luffy to be his swordsman.

2-Zoro declared his loyalty to Luffy at Baratie.

3-Zoro saved Smoker.

4-While Jaya arc Zoro got beaten up by very weak people with Luffy, just because Luffy ordered him. Again people remember Zoro is a prideful person he wouldn’t allow anyone to humiliate him like this if it weren’t for Luffy.

5-Water 7. Zoro didn’t interrupt the duel between Usopp and Luffy. He understands how duels work and also wouldn’t want him to interrupt.

6--Zoro also showed here, he respected Luffy so much and expect from everyone in the crew too. If Usopp didn’t apologize and Luffy got him back anyway Zoro would go because everything till here would be meaningless in his eyes. But Luffy isn’t that kind of person so Zoro remained loyal at the top.

7--Thriller Bark. Do I have to say anything? He was ready to die for Luffy. It was meaningless if he couldn’t protect his captain. He never told Luffy what he did for him. Respect that man.

There is probably much more but these are the most outstanding and coming into my mind right now.

Caring: Gosh, there is so much in here coming into my mind. It would be trouble the get all of them together.

1-People would argue with me with this one but Zoro’s argument with Kuina about how it didn’t matter to be a girl or boy wasn’t just about how Zoro would be humiliated that he won against her just because he is a boy but also he cared so much about her and could see she was struggling. Also, the whole Tashigi thing just because he cares so much about Kuina(Also his trauma about her, possible PTSD)

2-He cared for the little girl and eat her food.

3-We already know both Nami(gosh I want to talk about Nami too) and Luffy are caring people. So it wasn’t a surprise when they wanted to fight for Usopp but Zoro also wanted it. It wasn’t just about pride, it was his caring side.

4-Zoro got scared about Yosaku when he saw him sick.

5-Sometimes Zoro surprise me with his understanding of people. Zoro trusted Nami wouldn’t throw her humanity away and would let him die even in front of Arlong. He cared Nami listened to her about why she hated pirates back in there. Usopp didn’t understand it there.

6-But Zoro wanted to fight with her when he thought she killed Usopp.

7-Zoro is scared for Sanji when he dived in.

8-Zoro let his crewmates sleep when he fights with Baroque works and said: “Let them sleep more they got tired a lot while getting here.” (wasn’t an exact quote)

9-When he learned first about Merry’s condition he said: “Is it true? Are you really this damaged? (again not an exact quote)

10-Zoro tells Sanji not the fight on the train because there were some really dangerous guys.

11-Whole Enies Lobby showed how all of them were caring.

12-Thriller Bark. I talked about Luffy here but what about Sanji. When he first saw him you could see his eyes were painted with pure fear and finally when Sanji talked about death and replace him with another cook Zoro just couldn’t take it anymore and knocked him out with the reverse of his sword.

13-In Zou, there is one scene Luffy asks Zoro “were you worried about Sanji?” Zoro avoid answering that but it was obvious.

There are more and more but I think it is enough. So let’s get into other thing. If Zoro was in WCI he wouldn’t do anything to stop Sanji from his fight with Luffy. He wouldn’t stay quiet thoughç he would be angry but he wouldn’t do anything.

Reality TV Show Writing Meme!

Rules:

- Choose 6 OC's canon characters.

- Put your OC's names in list of numbers and answer the questions with your OC's names instead of the number, write at least 100 words to answer.

- Once an OC is evicted, you must choose the next consecutive number to fill in the question. E.g. If [1] is evicted, choose [2]. If [6] is evicted, go back round to [1]. (I fucked this part up but idc)

Cast:

1. Aoba

2. Shizuo

3. Namie

4. Ran

5. Shingen

6. Erika

Warning:

OOC (gets worse as it goes along honestly), c r a c k, dark humor, insanity, and Namie being Namie (and Erika being Erika...).

1. Welcome to the House! Introduce the OC's and what their luxury item would be.

[1] Aoba: Luxury item? A pool.

[2] Shizuo: Another pack of cigarettes. *doesn't know what it is*

[3] Namie: Well, there's not much of anything that comes to mind... except a fine night out with my darling Seiji~

[4] Ran: Fucking ew.

[5] Shingen: Hmm...hm, hm, hm. I need to think about this one...

[6] Erika: All the doujinshis on my wishlist!

2. There are 3 bedrooms, 1 with 2 double beds, 1 with 2 single beds and 1 with only 2 matresses on the floor. Who pairs up with whom, is there an argument over who should get the better room, and how is this resolved?

No one's happy, except Erika who comments that it feels like a sleepover (and Ran who yells out that 'we're literally living together for this'). However, Namie has already grabbed Erika's arm to lead her into the room with two single beds, because 'the only man she'll sleep in a room with is Seiji'. Erika doesn't get time to object before the door slams behind them. Leaving only the other four...

Shingen rubs his chin, trying to decide which remaining options were better. If he chose the room with the double bed, he surmised he might get lonely since there'd be no other weight in it, so the mattresses on the floor sounded like a better option.

Shizuo heads into the room with the double beds. No one follows him in.

Aoba and Ran look at each other, mutually scowling the thought of having to share a room with the blonde, then scowl at each other. Ultimately, they decide on taking the room with the mattresses on the floor.

By the time Shingen makes his decision, he finds everyone gone and the room he had decided on occupied. With a droop of his shoulder and a small, disappointed sigh, he heads into the double-bedded room with Heiwajima.

Then...

"Wait a minute, this is my house! Why the hell don't I get to call the shots?!"

Namie, laying in bed and staring up at the ceiling, hearing Shingen's voice: What an idiot.

3. Now they've decided where they're sleeping, they make their way to the living room but find that it is empty expect for a few large and heavy boxes which hold the furniture which [1] and [4] have been told to put together within a time limit, how well do they do?

Aoba: Do I look like someone with a body who can handle all this hard labor?

Ran: Thanks a fucking lot, pipsqueak.

Aoba: Seriously. Why can't we make Heiwajima do it?

Ran: Because he'll crush our fucking skulls?

Aoba: Oh.

Aoba: Well, if I told him you asked, then I'll both live and not have to do it.

Ran: *throws an empty box at him*

4. The furniture's together, now for dinner and a rest! [2] and [5] are designated for cooking first. What do they cook? Do they work well together? Does their cooking go down well?

Shingen: *wearing an apron, flattening dough with a rolling pin* I'm baking a cake~! Teehee~

Sheenwuh: *walks through the door, notices Shingen, and then walks back out it*

Shizuo: Um.

Shizuo just sits on the couch eating potato chips instead.

5. A few days pass and a relationship is growing between [3] and [6], is it a good one or is it a bad one? What measures are made to make their relationship blossom, or stop them from attacking each other on sight?

Erika: *talking nonstop about BL, cosplay, and anime*

Namie's internal dialogue: [shut up shut up SHUT THE FUCK UP]

Namie ends up leaving, throwing Shingen out and angrily informing Heiwajima he has a new roommate.

Shizuo is actually taken aback and does not argue.

6. A week has passed and it's time for an eviction! Someone hasn't put in their penny's worth and needs to be gotten rid of. Choose one OC, and have them say their weepy, or exuberant, goodbyes.

Ran: Good fucking riddance.

Namie: *bored voice, dull tone* I'm so sad.

Erika: Aw, maybe next time. :(

Shizuo: Do I know you?

Shingen: Do I know you either?

Aoba: I'm a student. I don't have a job. I can't pay rent. What do you expect?

7. There's a siren in the middle of the night! [1] has tried to escape with [3] as accomplice, however they are both caught, who blames whom, and what is their punishment? Do the other house-mates suffer for it?

Aoba: I'm still here?

Ran: You're still here? Great.

Namie: Why did I agree to this...?

Shingen: For money?

Everyone looked at the floor where there were several pieces of glass from the window having been broken.

Shingen: Well, if you win, you can use it to pay me back~!

Namie: Can't wait...

8. The next task appointed for them arrives in the form of a letter and a pack of bendy wires. They pick up the letter and read that housemates [2] and [4] must make a cube using the fewest number of wires possible within 30 minutes of time. Do they manage it?

Ran: What the fuck? Why?

Shizuo: Uh, nah.

9. That evening, they find alcohol in the refridgerator and a karaoke machine in the living room. However, it is incredibly hard to set up and it's instructions are in Japanese. [5] and [6] are bullied into geting it sorted. How do they get on?

Erika: *staring hard at the instructions* Well, I recognize the characters... It's just...

Shingen: Those bastards! This isn't the version I ordered!

Erika: ...this is in Chinese, not Japanese.

10. Eviction time! Eviction this time is based upon house-mates behaviour and performance in the last week, and sadly, [1] and [3]'s escape attempt has not impressed the higher hand. [1] or [3] must go, choose, and have them say goodbye.

Aoba: I thought I left 6 questions ago...?

Namie: *leaves without a second thought*

Shingen: What about my window???

Shingen looked at Aoba who merely shrugged his shoulders. Then it occrured to him...

"You two were really going to climb down from a 30 story building...?"

"The danger makes it exciting."

Namie, thinking to herself: I was thinking of just going down the fire escape, but okay.

11. Confessions Time! Having been together for two weeks, how do the house-mates feel about the others? How do they feel about the evictions? Let's listen to them now.

Erika: Kishitani-san is okay for a roommate. He's kind of odd, though...

Ran: You want to talk about being weird?

Shingen: You're okay yourself, Karisawa. A bit hard to follow, but okay.

Ran: My little rat-think of a brother is finally gone. Couldn't be better.

*phone rings*

Shingen: Hold on a moment.

Shingen: Hello?

Sheenwuh: Dad, when can I come home?

Shingen: Anytime, son.

Sheenwuh: No, I mean, when is whatever's going on over?

Shingen: Can't hear you either, son, roger. *hangs up*

Shizuo: ...

Shizuo: Do I have to be here or can I leave too?

12. [1] and [4] have become very close, and [6] is jealous and decides to confront [4] about it, what happens?

Erika: Wow, so you miss your brother after all~!

Ran: What??

Aoba: *peeks through hole in the wall* Peekaboo!

Ran: *screams*

Erika: Ah, brotherly love... I think that'll be the next BL manga theme I read about...!

Shizuo:

Shizuo: I've decided that I'm killing myself instead.

13. Their next task is to simply tidy the house, however, they have to do it blindfold, [5] cheats and [2] does nothing, such disobedience so late in the game earns them a time-out and their luxury item is taken away, how do they cope?

Shingen: Ooh~! Kinky.

Shizuo: I'm going to be next to jump out this fucking window I swear to god--

Erika: (But nobody actually jumped out the window...);

14. Due to the cheating in the previous task, the electricity in the building is cut, and the living room is locked off from them. [4] suggests a game of hide-and-seek, does anyone get injured in the dark? Does anyone take this moment to be naughty with another housemate?

Ran: Anyone wanna play Hide-and-Get-Hammered?

Shingen: Is that a drinking game, I see?

Ran: Heh.

Erika: I'm pretty that's not how it's played... or what Izumii-kun means... *she inclines her head, trying to see if Ran's holding something behind him*

15. The living room is open to them again and inside is a television, an XBOX and four Guitar Hero guitars, a not stuck on the television let's them know that it is a play-off between [3] and [6].

Who wins, and did they realise the loser would be evicted?!

Neither of the two are particularly interested in video games, but it gets pretty heated between them (Ran and Erika). Ran calls her a "fujo bitch" throughout, and Erika wins by sticking her bare foot in his lap and freaking him out, causing him to fall onto the floor (and into the loser's seat).

Ran: Yeah, whatever. Fuck this.

Erika: Well, Kishitani-san, it looks like it's just you and me.

Shingen: That it seems.

Shizuo: Uh, guys... I'm still here...

16. With only three house-mates left, tension starts to rise, [1] becomes super-competitive and starts taking over any tasks given to them. [1] accepts a task before even hearing it, and it's challenging them to sit in a bath of maggots for half an hour.

How does [1] react and do they complete the task?

Shizuo: That's fucking disgusting.

Erika: But you said you'd do anything...

Shizuo: *stares at her, eyebrow twitching*

Erika: ...OK.

17. Another Confession. Poor [2] is starting to suffer from cabin fever and is sure the others are out to get them. Let's listen to their ranting.

Shizuo: You know what? Fuck these nutjobs. *leaves*

18. The house-mates realise they are quite quickly running out of food, and find three unlabelled tins in a cupboard, with blindfolds next to them and a letter explaining that two tins are sliced peaches, one is dog-food, they must each choose a tin with their blindfolds on.

Who gets the dog-food, and evicted?

Erika: *walking in the direction of Kadota's place, smiling* Aw, I hope Dotachin's dog will like this brand...

19. The final task denotes the winner of the entire game, the final two house-mates are given an envelope, inside is the instrutions of their last task, they simply are.

"Choose."

Does this shock them? Do they choose themselves as the winner or the other? Do they give their own victory up, or are they selfish?

"Dad, I fucking live here."

"Hmm. I guess that makes both of us the victors, then?"

"Dad, why is there no food in the house?" the brunette asks, looking through the fridge. Then he looks towards the balcony and nearly screams.

"WHY IS THE WINDOW BROKEN???"

20. Now it's (quite abruptly) over, tag someone!

I will not but you can steal it. xD

Luffy, Robin, Sanji, Nami, Chopper, Usopp, Nami, Franky, Smoker, Tashigi, Sengoku, Sengoku’s goat ;) Notes: I’m taking my turn at the Corazon!Law AU because my brain won’t leave me alone until this is written down.

Summary: Law is reclaimed by the Family when he's 17 and, with Doflamingo holding the lives of his crew as collateral for his good behavior, eventually becomes the third Corazon. Years later, trapped by his impossible situation, Law finds a strange connection to Monkey D. Luffy, which offers a glimpse of something he's repeatedly had ripped away from him: hope.

Law slowly came awake, having slept the dreamless sleep he only ever had after draining himself to the point of unconsciousness. He grimaced before slitting his eyes open; his body ached, his mouth was cottony, and his head throbbed. As the fuzzy world came into focus around him, he realized he was on the couch. He frowned. When had that happened? The last thing he remembered was sitting with Luffy on the floor…

He threw a hand over his face and groaned as he remembered that Luffy was the one who’d found him during his panic attack. Bepo, Shachi, and Penguin were the only ones he allowed to see him like that; they’d seen him at his worst when Cora-san’s death was still a gaping wound, and his body was still marred with Amber Lead. They’d been there for the screaming nightmares and suffocating panic attacks. For anyone else to see him that way…

Well, Law hadn’t been able to afford such shows of weakness around the Family.

But Luffy had simply smiled and offered that he had his own demons as well.

Law swallowed, unsure of what to do with that bit of kindness. It settled uncomfortably somewhere behind his breastbone.

Taking a breath, he pushed himself upright and glanced around. Luffy was nowhere to be seen. Vergo’s body was also gone. That meant someone—likely Marines—had come in while Law was sleeping to remove it. The idea of being defenseless while Marines were in the room made his stomach turn. Yet they’d left him alone, undoubtedly on Smoker’s orders.

Shaking his head, Law grabbed Kikoku from where she’d been placed on the table and pocketed his Den Den Mushi. He had no idea what time it was—and there were no windows in this metal monstrosity of a lab to give him any hints—but if the Marines had removed Vergo’s body, there was a good chance the back-up ship had arrived, meaning it was morning.

Rather than aimlessly wander around the lab, Law reached out with his haki to look for the Straw Hats… and was immediately struck by the overwhelming presence of Luffy. After a moment, he was able to discern the chaotic energies of the other Straw Hats as well; they were gathered a few halls over. The Marines, including Smoker and his second, were on the other side of the lab, near the entrance. He could sense more Marines than he thought had been there previously, which seemed to confirm his suspicion.

Law left the control room and followed his haki. The closer he got to the gathered group, the stronger the smell of cooking food became—which made perfect sense when he found the crew in the dining hall.

“Torao, good morning!” Luffy called, waving his hand as though Law wouldn’t be able to pick him out from the small group. They were all seated at one long table that they seemed to have pieced together from several smaller tables.

“Straw Hat-ya,” Law greeted with a sigh, head already aching from the enthusiasm. Whatever time it was, it was too early for this.

“Sanji’s cooking breakfast. I hope there’s lots of meat!” Luffy said, eyes glazing over.

“Of course, you do,” the cat burglar said, rolling her eyes. She then turned and looked Law up and down without any hint of subtlety. “There’s coffee in the kitchen,” she said, lips twitching.

Law considered flipping her off, but coffee sounded amazing, so he simply nodded and headed back to the kitchen, where Black Leg was working. He raised an eyebrow at Law’s presence.

“Coffee?” Law grunted.

Black Leg nodded and broke off from the task he was doing—scrambling eggs, from the looks of it—and poured a cup of coffee.

“Take anything with it?”

Law shook his head, accepting the undoctored mug of precious caffeine.

Black Leg snorted. “Why am I not surprised?”

Law shrugged and took a sip. The bitter liquid burned at his scratchy throat, and it was heavenly.

“Any dietary restrictions?” Black Leg asked as he went back to the meal.

“No bread.”

Black Leg hummed. “Gluten allergy or just not a fan?”

“Gluten,” Law acknowledged around sips.

Black Leg nodded. “I can work with that.” He turned to another task but looked over his shoulder at Law. “Tell those idiots it’s almost ready, will you?”

Law took that as being kicked out of the kitchen, so he jerked his head in a nod and grudgingly returned to the rowdy collection of remaining Straw Hats.

“It’s almost ready,” Law relayed as he sat down at the end of the table, as far from Luffy as he could place himself. He could still feel a crawling sensation under his skin as he thought about the night before, and sitting as far away from its source while he worked through his thoughts seemed like his best bet.

“Was there meat?” Luffy asked, mouth practically watering.

“There’s always meat, you shitty piece of rubber,” Black Leg said as he brought several platters of food out from the kitchen.

After dropping off the platters, Black Leg went back to the kitchen several more times and returned with an impressive array of breakfast foods for the crew to share. The remaining Straw Hats, particularly those seated close to Luffy, seemed to have a well-practiced system in place to eat their meals while avoiding Luffy stealing from their plates, including knocking their captain upside the head when he got too close. Luffy merely grinned and laughed before returning to his own heaping plate.

Law managed to grab some eggs and fruit amidst the melee, and, as he ate, he considered how different the dynamic was from his own crew’s. Though, Law supposed with no little regret, he hadn’t eaten with them with any regularity in the last few years. Ever since Shachi’s injury, Law’s guilt had pushed him away from his nakama, and, when he did eat, he usually ended up eating alone or with the Family—Sunday dinners, for instance, were required for every executive who was not away on a mission. Though the Family was hectic in its own way, manners were still expected—and not just because their captain was also a king. Table manners had been preached even when Law had been with the Family at Spider Miles; just because they were pirates did not mean they were savages, Doffy had said, and they were expected to act like it.

That had made a lot more sense when Law had learned that Doffy was a former Celestial Dragon—many of his quirks had come into focus with that information, in fact.

It had also been revealing about Cora-san, though Law hadn’t been entirely ready to open that Pandora’s Box, despite knowing about it for six years.

“How did you sleep last night, Torao-kun?”

Law started, pulled from his thoughts by Nico Robin’s smiling face across the table from him.

“Luffy went looking for you last night after dinner, but then he didn’t come back until this morning,” she elaborated, still smiling.

The expression set Law’s teeth on edge. He narrowed his eyes, certain that she was screwing with him. “Fine,” he said curtly then deliberately took a sip of coffee, hoping to discourage the conversation. Still. Did that mean Luffy had stayed? He was obviously the one who had moved Law to the couch, and that was humiliating enough, but the thought that the other captain had stayed with him…

Law’s eye twitched.

But Nico Robin just kept smiling. “That’s good to hear. After all, we’re heading to Dressrosa today.”

Law put his cup down slowly. “Yes,��� he agreed, not sure what she was getting at.

“We’ll need everyone to be at their best to face Doflamingo,” she said, expression never changing. “I’ve heard the rumors about him.”

“Until tomorrow, little bird.”

“He’s worse than any rumor,” Law ground out before pushing himself up and away from the table. He grabbed Kikoku, knuckles going white from his grip. He needed air.

“Torao?” Luffy called after him, but he ignored the other captain, practically fleeing the room.

Recalling the blueprints of the lab, he navigated the hallways to the front entrance and practically exploded out the door, stumbling onto the front stoop as he shoved the door open with more force than needed. He put a hand against the wall and sagged, sucking in lungfuls of icy air, the cold tamping down on the heat that had risen in his face and helping him to collect himself.

After a few more deep breaths, he felt his head clear, and he looked out over the island. He’d been so caught up in his own mind that he hadn’t noticed the Marine vessel being loaded in the port a few hundred yards away. He shook his head; he needed to get his shit together if he was going to deal with Doflamingo today.

Law leaned back against the wall and crossed his arms against his chest, watching various Marines scurry about like little insects whose nest had been disturbed while others barked orders.

After a few minutes of Law watching his men, Smoker climbed the steps and took a seat on the top step, leaving distance between himself and Law.

As the two watched in silence, several soldiers marched the chained Caesar and Monet toward the ship. Caesar continued making high-pitched protests—“Do you know who I am?”, “Do you know who you’re messing with?” and the like—while Monet remained silent. As if drawn to Law, she turned and their eyes met briefly, that look of betrayal still in her gaze. Then she was pushed along toward the ship and the connection broke.

Law exhaled, only then realizing he’d been holding his breath.

Once Doflamingo learned of their arrests as well as of Vergo’s death—he had more spies in the Marines than just Vergo, though even Law didn’t know all their identities—he would undoubtedly retrieve his subordinates and Vergo’s body. He would leverage his connections, and even the Fleet Commander couldn’t refuse the Gorosei.

Law could only hope he’d receive that news once Law and his nakama had escaped Dressrosa.

“What will you do now?” Smoker asked as they watched a string of Caesar’s men, buoyed by strange balloon devices, escorted to the ship by another group of soldiers. “Doflamingo will kill you if you return to Dressrosa.”

That… was not actually true; Law might wish he were dead if Doffy got wind of his betrayal before he and his crew could flee, but he would live until he performed the Perennial Youth Operation. Only then would he be allowed to die—for the sake of Doffy’s immortality. No, it would be his nakama (and Luffy’s crew, now that the crazy captain had decided to involve himself in Law’s affairs) who would pay the ultimate price. But Smoker didn’t need to know that.

Law raised an eyebrow at Smoker’s back. “Why do you care, White Chase-ya? I’m just a no-good pirate.”

“Maybe I don’t like being in debt to pirates,” Smoker retorted. “And if you die, I can’t pay it back.”

Law snorted. “Apologies if my impending death is inconvenient for your conscience.”

Smoker grumbled in response.

They sat in silence for several more minutes, and, surprisingly, it wasn’t an uncomfortable silence. Smoker seemed to have come to some kind of conclusion about Law, and Law simply had too much on his mind to bother with antagonizing the vice admiral. And, if Law were being honest with himself, while he hated the Marines on principle for their part in Flevance’s fall, Smoker was one of the few who had ever shown even an inkling of honor; it was a very grudging sense of respect he found budding toward the vice admiral.

They watched the ship’s continued loading until the lab’s door opened once more, and the Straw Hats spilled out onto the stoop. Law noticed two more figures had joined the group: Kin’emon the samurai and a boy dressed in similar garb. A son? They had shied off to the side of the group on the other side of the doorway from Law.

“Oh, there you are, Torao!” Luffy said, spying Law off to the side. “And Smokey!”

“Straw Hat,” Smoker grumbled, pushing himself to his feet.

“Where are the children?” the cat burglar asked, putting her hands on her hips.

“Tashigi is with them,” Smoker said.

“Well, we’re not leaving until we see them off,” Chopper added, coming up next to his crewmate at the front of the group, doing his best to sound authoritative.

Smoker lip curled in annoyance, but he was saved from having to reply by the emergence of the captain and the children from a side entrance of the lab. The swordswoman, with a bright voice and wide smile, directed the children toward the ship. The children laughed and jumped around as they boarded the ship.

“Tashigi!” Smoker called.

The swordswoman looked up from her charges and took in the group standing next to the vice admiral. After murmuring something to the remaining children waiting to board, she headed over to the lab steps.

“Smoker-san,” she greeted.

“These idiots won’t leave until they know the children are taken care of. Tell them where we’re taking them.”

Long Nose and the cyborg protested at being called idiots, but the cat burglar and Chopper ignored them. Their eyes were focused on the swordswoman.

“We’re taking them to be treated by Vegapunk himself,” the captain replied, adjusting her glasses. “He’s agreed to look at the long-term effects of the drugs and work on a treatment. Once they’ve received the care they need, we’ll take them all home. We’re also in the process of contacting their families.”

“That’s a relief,” Chopper said, smiling.

The swordswoman looked at the cat burglar. “I meant what I said earlier; I will protect the children with my life!”

The cat burglar nodded, her expression softening. “I know. Thank you.”

The two women shook hands, and the captain glanced at her superior before heading back to the ship. The children were making their way onto the deck of the ship, calling at the Straw Hats with their thanks. Law was startled to hear even a few thanks hollered in his direction. Considering he hadn’t wanted to get caught up with the children in the first place, he didn’t think he deserved any.

Smoker shook his head and glanced back at the gathered group, eyes meeting Law’s one final time, before he headed back to the ship, corralling the remaining soldiers who had yet to board. The Straw Hats waved as the ship eventually pushed off from the dock and set sail.

“All right!” Luffy called out, grabbing the attention of his crew. “Let’s go! On to Dressroba!”

“Dressrosa,” Law grumbled.

“Shishishi,” Luffy chuckled. “Whatever. Let’s go take down that Mingo!”

He headed off in the direction of the Thousand Sunny, and the rest of the group followed—including Kin’emon and the boy, Law noted. He’d have to account for their presence in his plan. Luffy continued chattering on, mostly to Zoro and Long Nose, though he’d turn back every now and then to meet Law’s eye with a grin.

As they walked, the cat burglar came up next to Law. “I can navigate using the maps we found in the lab, but if you have a better way…”

Law reached into a pocket on the inside of his coat and pulled out an Eternal Pose for Dressrosa. It was the same one Doffy had given Law nearly a decade earlier in the North Blue. He carried it on every mission away from the island. For a moment, Law’s grip tightened on the wooden frame as he considered that there was a good chance neither he nor his nakama would ever leave that island again. Swallowing, he forcibly loosened his fingers and offered it to her. Her eyes lit up.

“That will make things easier!” She looked at the pose for a moment then glanced back at Law. “You said it should take half a day?”

“Yes.”

The cat burglar—Nami—peered up at the sky and narrowed her eyes consideringly before shaking her head. “We’ll have to get further away from the conditions on this weird island before I can get a sense of the weather.”

“Dressrosa is a summer island,” Law supplied. “The weather is rarely poor around it.”

Nami hummed thoughtfully. “That’s promising.”

Law hesitated before adding, “Avoid skies with clouds as much as possible.”

“Why?” Black Leg asked from Law’s other side. He took a drag on his cigarette and raised a curious eyebrow.

Law glanced at him before turning back to Nami. “Doflamingo can use his Devil Fruit to travel in the skies. He uses clouds to do it. If he has any suspicion that I’ve betrayed him, he’ll be out looking for me.”

“Will he have any suspicion?” Black Leg asked as Nami’s eyes widened.

“I… don’t know.” Law had played the call over in his mind repeatedly and still did not know if Doffy had been bluffing. Even if he hadn’t been, there was no telling how quickly he’d hear from his Marine spies about what had happened on Punk Hazard. “Best to assume he does.”

Black Leg pursed his lips but didn’t say anything.

Once they boarded the Thousand Sunny, the Straw Hats spread out to complete their respective jobs for setting sail. Law leaned back against the wall and was joined by Kin’emon and the boy as they stayed out their hosts’ way. Law and the samurai eyed one another. Law didn’t know anything about Kin’emon, other than, as a samurai, he was likely from Wano and that Doffy wanted him kept alive. If Kin’emon was from Wano, Law idly wondered if Doffy’s orders about the man came from Kaido but put the thought out of his mind; it didn’t matter to the task at hand.

Once the Thousand Sunny had pulled away from Punk Hazard and started toward Dressrosa, Law’s Eternal Pose pointing the way, the Straw Hats reconvened on the lawn in the center of the ship. They turned to Law.

“Tell us, Torao-kun,” Nico Robin said, speaking for her crew. “What awaits us in Dressrosa?”

Law took a steadying breath and started to speak.

Two Days Later

Smoker found the Inspector General in his favorite spot, a perch overlooking New Marineford, absently sharing snacks with his beloved goat. He hadn’t been entirely surprised to receive a summons from Marine HQ after the prisoners he’d brought in and the damning report he’d filed about another vice admiral, but he thought this might be a bit more personal, considering the source.

“Inspector General,” Smoker greeted as he came to a stop next to the seated man.

“Smoker,” Sengoku replied, nodding at him.

“You wanted to see me?”

“Ah, yes,” Sengoku said, adjusting his glasses briefly. “I read your report about the events on Punk Hazard.”

Smoker’s original report had been heavily edited so that the official report had, much like the Alabasta report, given him far more credit than he deserved for what had transpired. It also whitewashed some of the uglier truths Smoker had learned about the base commander of G-5 and the experiments being conducted on the island. But Smoker had a feeling Sengoku was referring to the unedited version. Semi-retired or not, a man like Sengoku would have his ways of getting his hands on that document.

“Sir,” Smoker said neutrally.

Sengoku offered his goat a cracker before glancing at Smoker. “You don’t seem pleased at the accolades being thrown your way for uncovering a traitor so high in the ranks.”

Smoker snorted. “If you read my report, you know I didn’t uncover shit. Sir.”

Sengoku nodded, absently scratching behind the goat’s ears. “Corazon revealed Vergo’s true nature.”

So, he had read the unedited version. “Yes.”

“Tell me, Smoker,” Sengoku said, something careful about his tone that Smoker couldn’t quite place. “What were your impressions of Vice Admiral Vergo? Before this? You worked alongside him at G-5.”

“I thought he was a good leader and a good soldier,” Smoker admitted. “I respected him.” He’d had no reason to suspect the man; his reputation was spotless, and the men of G-5 admired him. It grated on him that he hadn’t noticed the rat. Surely there had been something amiss that Smoker had missed…

But, no. Vergo’s act had been flawless.

Sengoku nodded thoughtfully. “And Corazon killed him.”

“Yes.”

“And what did you make of that, Vice Admiral?”

Smoker frowned. “What do you mean?”

“The second in command of the Donquixote Pirates killing a particularly important spy for his own crew among Marine ranks. Surely that was surprising to you.”

Smoker, even in his unedited report, had skirted around what he’d heard about Corazon’s history. He wasn’t sure why he was keeping the man’s secrets other than the debt he owed him, but something hadn’t sat right in his chest when he’d attempted to make note of all he’d heard. He’d learned to trust his instincts over the years, and they’d told him he’d be better served holding onto that information. Even—maybe especially—the Marines were prone to politics, and Smoker knew that information could be leveraged. He found the fact distasteful, but it was true nonetheless.

But those same instincts were also telling him now that Sengoku was the right person to tell, considering his personal connection to the Donquixote Pirates. It was known amongst the longest-serving Marines that Sengoku’s adopted son had been killed by the Donquixote Pirates while on an undercover mission infiltrating them. Smoker had never met Rosinante, but he’d seen the plaque on the wall of fallen soldiers.

“There seemed to be bad blood between them,” Smoker said after coming to his decision. He didn’t have a full sense of what he’d witnessed between the two men, but he knew enough about long-standing grudges to recognize one when he saw it. “Going back a long way.”

Corazon couldn’t be older than his mid-twenties but had held the title of Corazon for half a decade. Only someone who’d been with the Family for a long time could have risen to second in command—Doflamingo only surrounded himself with the best, which was part of what made his crew so dangerous—so for Corazon to have risen so high so at such a young age likely meant he’d been with them as a child. It was common knowledge that the Family recruited children and raised them to be loyal soldiers, so that would not have been surprising.

The slightest twitch in Sengoku’s eyebrow told Smoker that he was on the right track. Considering the timeline, then, there was a good chance Corazon knew Sengoku’s son and might have answers about the circumstances surrounding his death, which had remained under high level security clearance in the years since. Most Marine lifers felt Sengoku had never truly moved past Rosinante’s death (though they’d never say it in the man’s earshot), but now perhaps he could get some answers—especially if Corazon was attempting to leave the Family and had no reason to keep their secrets any longer.

“I see,” Sengoku finally said, offering the goat another cracker. He offered the bag to Smoker wordlessly, but Smoker shook his head.

Smoker hesitated only a moment before adding, “Corazon let something slip during the fight.”

Sengoku simply nodded at him to continue, obviously recognizing Smoker had left whatever it was out of his report.

“I think he’s a survivor of the White City.”

Sengoku paled, though Smoker had a feeling it wasn’t for the reason most did when Flevance was mentioned. He’d been Fleet Admiral when commands had come from above even him to wipe out the country and everyone in it due to the highly contagious Amber Lead Disease that was killing entire generations.

It was genocide and a shame on any Marine with a sense of honor.

“There were no survivors,” Sengoku said finally, voice curiously choked off.

And even if anyone had managed to escape the slaughter, they should have died years earlier due to Amber Lead Disease. But somehow, Corazon hadn’t.

The more he thought about it, the more Smoker had a feeling it had to do with that Devil Fruit of his. The Ope-Ope no Mi was a miracle surgery fruit, after all.

“There seems to be at least one,” Smoker replied, remembering the fury in Corazon’s voice as he’d railed against what had happened to his family and his home, sheer rage taking over the normally composed man. It was clearly a slip he regretted making, considering the way his expression had soured once he’d realized what he’d said. “It sounded like his parents were doctors, but they were killed with everyone else when Flevance fell. Including a sister.”

Sengoku ran a hand over his face, suddenly looking his age. “I see,” he said after a long moment. He turned to Smoker and gave him a wan smile. “Thank you for telling me.”

The dismissal was clear, but Smoker had one more thing to add. “The traitor, Vergo, didn’t call Corazon by his title. He used a name.”

Sengoku raised an eyebrow. “Oh?”

“He didn’t use a surname. But he called Corazon Law.”

“Law,” Sengoku murmured, as though trying out the name.

Smoker left Sengoku with the name on his tongue, wondering what the former Fleet Admiral would do with the information but deciding it was above his paygrade.

The photographer- Iwaizumi Hajime (Part 14)

Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3 - part 4 - Part 5 - Part 6 - Part 7 - Part 8 - Part 9 - Part 10 - Part 11 - Part 12 - Part 13 - Part 15 - Part 16 -

Day 8

"I HAD FUN, THANK YOU, IWA." He smiled grabbing my hand before I can go inside. 

"I'm glad we did this." I smiled and stepped closer, about to kiss him but I pulled away a little. 

"Happy birthday." With that I closed the gap between us, kissing him goodnight. Well, morning, it is 12. 

"Thanks love. See you at 8?"

"Of course. Goodnight, Iwa." I kissed him again before walking into my house, I pressed my back to the door as I closed it. The memories of tonight flood through me. I kissed Iwaizumi! My first kiss. 

"You seem happy." I jumped at the voice and looked at the kitchen, sighing when I see F/n. 

"What are you doing here?"

"Oh, you know.. making sure you got home okay." I shook my head putting my bag down and the kitty. "He got you a cat?"

"Yep, I named her Senshi." She smiled at me and pet her head. 

"She's beautiful."

"Right!"

"So details." I smiled thinking about tonight and told her the story. Every single detail. "Aw, that's beautiful. Your first kiss!" I nodded my head biting my lip. 

"And I chose Monday to tell him... it'll ruin him."

"Y/n, I get you're dying, but, love leaves a memory no one can steal. We only get one life, one chance to live it the best we can. Now don't tell me when you finally start to live, you're gonna let one little thing get in the way? He's not going anywhere." She's right.. 

"So what enjoy the rest of today, and deal with it on Monday?"

"Exactly, it's okay to want something for yourself sometimes, your still human." I smiled and hugged her.

"Thanks F/n."

"Of course baby girl. Now, let's pick out our outfits for today. Yeah?" I nodded getting up, walking to my room.

"You know Akaashi will be there."

"I'll be okay." Once we were done with that, I laid back on the bed. "We should get some sleep." I nodded turning on my side closing my eyes. 

'time skip' 

"So, how was the date?" I looked at Oikawa as we stood on Iwaizumi's steps. 

"Good." Oikawa knocked on the door grabbing F/n’s hand after. 

"Hey, guys, love." I smiled as he leaned down and kissed me gently. 

"I see the date was more than 'good'." Me and Iwa shared a look before Iwa hit him in the back of the head. "Ow, Iwa-Chan!" Iwaizumi grabbed my hand leading me inside, and to a beautiful woman. 

"Ma!" She turned around and said bye to the people she was talking to, her smile widen when she saw me. 

"You must be Y/n. Hi, I'm Iwaizumi's mom, but you can call me Ms. Iwaizumi or Mom." I smiled and shook her head.

"It is really nice to meet you, your son speaks very highly of you." She smiled at me sweetly. 

"I like her." Iwaizumi smiled and looked back at the door. 

"Dad's here." His mom nodded walking away as Iwaizumi dragged me to the door. "Dad."

"Son, happy birthday." I watched as Iwaizumi uncomfortably hug his dad.

"Y/n?" I looked at Akaashi and smiled, I walked over and hugged the boy.

"Akaashi, been a while huh?"

"Yeah, I didn't know you knew Iwaizumi."

"Yeah, well, it's.. complicated."

"Does he know?" I sighed and looked at my feet.

"I'm telling him tomorrow."

"Good, when he said your name I didn't imagine you." I punched his arm laughing. "Is F/n here?"

"Yeah, she's with Oikawa. How are you by the way? Since you came out?"

"Good, my boyfriend is at the car getting the presents." I smiled and hugged him again. 

"Good, you deserve to be happy, Akaashi." I backed away and immediately felt arms wrap around my waist. Iwa. "Hey, you." He kissed my cheek, I smiled at the little affection. 

"Hey, love. Hey, Akaashi." He backed away from me and hugged his brother, I looked at the door with wide eyes. 

"You're with Bokuto?!" I whisper yelled at him punching his arm.

"Ow, and yeah." I laughed as he scratched the back of his neck. 

“Y/n-Chan!" Before I could blink I was being spun in the arms of Bokuto.

"Kou, put me down." He did as told and smiled. 

"How are you?" 

"I'm good, Kou. I'm happy for you by the way. Congrats."

"Is.. F/n here?"

"Yeah she's with Oikawa," I said pointing to the other side of the room where F/n was laughing with Oikawa. 

"I'm glad she's happy. Come on, Akaashi lets go say hi." He grabbed his boyfriend's hand dragging him over to the other couple. 

"I didn't know you three were close." I turned around and looked at my.. what are we?

"He dated F/n. Akaashi, until he figured out girls weren't his thing."

"Ouch, how'd she take that?"

"Surprisingly, good." We looked as F/n was hugging the two boys. "I'm glad Akaashi found someone." I leaned into Iwa and smiled, I got out my camera. "Picture time." He laughed and dragged me to a room. 

"Our photo room." I smiled and told him to pose how ever he'd like. I smiled and took the photo. 

"Perfect." He walked over and kissed me, I stood on my tippy toes deepening the kiss. He grabbed my waist keeping me steady as I pulled back smiling at him. "As always."

"Oh, excuse me." We pulled away to see a girl, she has beautiful blonde hair, black eyes. 

"Nami?" Who? "What are you doing here?"

"Your dad invited me.." I felt Iwaizumi's grip tighten. "Who's this?"

"This is Y/n." I waved awkwardly. 

"Over me already?" I figured.

"Nothing to get over really." Why am I here?

"I should probably."

"Don't leave... please." When he whispered that in my ear, I couldn't say no. 

"Fine. You owe me an extra shot."

"Fine. Let me go change." He walked out the room quickly, he told me not to leave and there he goes. 

"Another shot? Didn't know you drink."

"I don't." I held up my camera. "I meant another shot. As in another picture."

"Oh, so your Y/n? The one Akaashi talks about. Have to say, never thought you'd be Iwaizumi's girlfriend." 

"Oh.. um, we're not-"

"Y/n! You seen F/n?" Oh great.. "Nami?" 

"Hey, Oikawa, how are you?"

"Good, have you seen F/n?"

"Still chasing girls I see, whose the slut this time?"

"F/n is my best friend and his girlfriend, call her a slut again and I'll punch you," I said stepping closer to her. 

"Seems I pushed a button. Come on Oikawa you're going to let this nobody talk to me like this?"

"Nami, she's right. F/n’s my girlfriend and I don't like you calling her a slut. She's not one. She's a beautiful girl who I love." Love?

"Love?" F/n, Oik turned around and smiled grabbing her hand dragging her away. 

"Have fun!" I held after them laughing. 

"Nowhere near as pretty as me."

"What?"

"You. You're too fat for Iwaizumi." I looked down at myself, then at her. "He doesn't like you, sweetie. Just face i-"

"Enough." We both turned to the door to see Iwaizumi, he walked over and behind me. "Y/n is perfect. She means more to me than you did when we were together. I do like her. More than you think. Come on love. Let's take the photo somewhere else." I nodded as he grabbed my hand leading me to their backyard. "You okay?"

"I'm fine." I took out my camera pointing it at him, he shook his head and posed.

The 13 Straw Hat Pirate Crew

Their is a theory running around the net that the straw hat crew will have a 13 members in total. It all started  with these Japanese words “麦わらの一味” when you read it, it’s “Mugiwara no ichimi” in English “The Straw Hat Pirates”. (You can try checking it on google translate. )If you dissect the Japanese words closely you can find the following: 

Mugiwara =  Straw Hat , Ichi = 1 and Mi = 3 ( Source: Link )

I’ve been reading some theories about it and something caught my attention. 

This picture: 

Nekomamushi with 13 cats.

So let me share to you my opinion of this cover and who represents those cats.

NOTE: This post contains spoilers and theories. Read at your own risk.

I was actually planning to share some post about this but upon looking at the cover, I decided to share my own thoughts. So here it is.

First of all, I think Nekomamushi symbolizes Thousand Sunny since he looks like a lion like Sunny. For the cats, here’s what I think who they are;

1. The cat looking a the window and seems like he is excited to go somewhere is Luffy.

2. The cat that have a haramaki sash and holding a bottle, well its pretty obvious, that's Zoro.

3. The black cat that's relaxing that can be Nami.

4. The cat with goggles and looks like examining Nekomamushi is Usopp. Others actually says its Franky, maybe because he looks like wearing pants plus the goggles. But upon thinking, the cats seems frighten and examining Nekomamushi if he is safe or not. Who else can we think of doing it but Usopp.

5. The cat who’s  black hair is extending more in the right side of its face, and the right eye is closed is Sanji.

6. The black cat who only show’s the side of its face is none other than Chopper.

7. The cat that have a classic coat and feminine cool vibe is Robin.

8. The cat who’s grinding as if he’s up to something is Franky. I was having a hard time deciding who he is, but because of his grind, I remember Franky.

9. This cat is Brook.. Well, he always sleep even in the most dangerous place like Big Mom’s room. The cat also looks old and Brook is pretty much an old guy.

10. This is pretty obvious, its Jinbei.

Now lets look at the remaining cats. I’m pretty sure that they are the soon to be Straw Hat Pirates because ; 1) We already saw the 10 members of the crew, 2) They are the only cats who’s resting on or stepping on a pillow. Meaning, they are still not onboard with Sunny.

Please be reminded that this is not accurate, it is only a theory.

11. The honest feminine looking cat can be.. Ta daan! Vivi!

Aside from Oda confirming that she is an honorary member of the Straw Hat, she is the only person I can see that can fit the vibe of that cat.

12. A lot of people say its Pudding because of the black hair that covers her forehead to hide her third eye. And the cat seems looking at  the other cat shyly. The one who represents Sanji.

13. The mysterious cat. I can’t seems to think who will be the candidate for him/her. Maybe we haven’t meet her/him yet. But if you have something in mind, feel free to share.

That all folks! I’m also planning to post another theory for the 13 Straw Hat Crew.

Thank you for reading and stay safe! God bless you all!
